I didn't like the story - as I saw (almost) what as going to happen right away. But the acting by Marsha Hunt was amazing. You would never know she was 90 by the intensity of her acting.
I had never heard of Ms. Hunt, but TCM was running a series of movies on her. I saw (part of) two 1940's movies in which she seemed both beautiful and highly intelligent. The last movie shown was "The Grand Inquisitor", and she brought the same intelligence to a much darker and more dramatic role. Watch the movie for her. (The other actress is good as well.)
On a trivia note, I had always thought that John Wayne had the longest film career, with movies stretching from 1926 to 1976. But Ms. Hunt's movies go from 1935 to 2008, beating him by almost 20 years.
